Huh, now? BastardBoyfriend is gendered male only. And none of the other tropes you mention are "sexual abuse is sexy". Even ItsNotRapeIfYouEnjoyedIt is very hard to twist into meaning that.

However, if we put it quite differently, then yes: There have been a bit much of "Issues regarding gender, sexuality, abuse, prejudice et cetera" lately. And don't worry, I'm also getting tired of it. :-)

Sure, this is a field that interest me - I have an academic degree in it, and work professionally with such issues. But troping is my hobby, and there are a lot of other tropes I'm working on that I have had to put on hold to get this stuff out of the way.

It has indeed been a bit much lately, but most of this phase is already out of the way, and much of what's left is about to get finished: Hollywood Masochism will be out of the way in a few days, while this trope will probably be finished or sink out of sight within a week. And I'll be back to Nerd In Evils Helmet (still haven't gotten around to reinstalling photoshop, and noone else have yet provided me the image I asked for) as well as calibrating Could Be Either Trope and pondering the line between PathOfInspiration and ScamReligion.

In the meantime, please focus on the tropes that actually interest you. Maybe you could help me flesh out the Bible example for Scam Religion? The example is about the AntiChrist setting up a scam religion according to some interpretations of the book of revelations.
